#MushroomMonday

2 posts2 participants0 posts today

Today is neither #MushroomMonday nor #FungiFriday , but extreme humidity and blazing sun, along with brief and infrequent but hard spells of rain that don't really cool things down much (it's felt like 40°-45°C every day for over a month now), have led to this growth of wood-ear fungus on the decomposing stump of a dead jackfruit tree. A welcome sign to me, but can someone help identify what exactly this is, though?

I'd brought this little jasmine home last Sunday to cheer myself up a bit (I'd had enough of a whole month of staying in due to the heat, poor health, and consequent depression), and today I planted them next to the dead tree. Jasmines are bustling, capable mediators, and one of the plants thriving in this weather. I'd hoped to have this one indoors, but they wanted to be outside in the sun with everybody else in the seeping wet of the claimed wetland earth.
